• The latest cohort comprises singers, pianists, chamber ensembles and composers
who benefit from a comprehensive and world-class artist development for 12

months. Each young artist receives masterclasses, coaching and mentoring from
internationally renowned artists, focusing specifically on their repertoire and

industry-relevant offers, either sourced by Britten Pears Arts, or which will emerge as

projects evolve during the year. The artists’ time as a Britten Pears Young Artist
culminates in performances at the 2022 Aldeburgh Festival.
